Question

Kiara found the solution for the inequality, 3.2 <-9.5 + x.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is D. Kiara should have shaded the number line to the right of the circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality is given to be :

3.2 < -9.5 + x

Now, adding 9.5 on both the sides

⇒ 3.2 + 9.5 < -9.5 + 9.5 + x

⇒ 12.7 < x

Thus, X has a value strictly greater than not equal to 12.7

So, on a number line x can take all the values greater than 12.7 except 12.7

Hence, Kiara should have shaded the number line to the right of the circle.

Therefore, the correct answer is D

Answer 2

Kiara did pretty good, but she misinterpreted the final inequality. if 12.7<x that means that x is larger than 12.7. So she should have shaded the number line to the right in stead of to the left. So D is the answer.
